He wrote his first polonaise in 1817, when he was 7; his last was the Polonaise-Fantaisie of 1846, three years before his death.
What is the form of Chopin's polonaise Op 53?
Structure. The tempo of the piece is Alla polacca e maestoso (“like a polonaise and majestic”). The form may be viewed as intermediate between ternary (A-B-A) and rondo (A-B-A-C-A), since the first interlude is much shorter than the second (16 vs. 74 bars).
